Our theme for this months Blog Hop is...Designers Choice! 

Well, let me tell you...having free reign to create anything isn't easy either. So many ideas running through my head was kind of overwhelming.
But I narrowed it down to a stamp set I hadn't used before and
combined that with a few of my favorite things.
Can you guess what those might be???

Well, if you follow me, you may know what they are. But if you don't yet...click the pink "follow me" button below or to the right sidebar, and follow us, so you don't miss our monthly hops and giveaways!

Anyhooo...I'll tell ya...I LOVE to heat emboss in all kinds of different ways, which I'll share in more detail next month, I LOVE die cuts, and I LOVE bling and sparkle. Because what girl doesn't, right?

​Today I'm sharing this magical beauty using some of my favorite things: gold/clear heat embossing, die cuts, distress oxide inks, and sparkle to 

complete this mystical shaker card.

Irish Friendship Card

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! I'm feeling the 'Luck o' the Irish' with me today, because I'm sharing this sweet card full of spring colors, plaid, and childhood memories from this darling "Lollipop Love" set by Polka Dot Orchard digital stamps. It's not just for Valentines Day. It's versatile for other occasions too! Isn't this cheery and fun??? Love it!!!

​Reminds of those brightly colored sucker pops I used to get from the candy store across the street from my Grandma's house. OH! You heard me right! A kids dream! Am I right? Oh yeah...a sweet little mom and pop general store, but we always called it the "candy store," where all our pennies were spent when we came to visit! And these suckers took me right back to those days! Such sweet memories of me and my little sister filling our small brown paper bags full of 1 cent candies. Oh! Those were the days! 

Click "here" for a step by step card tutorial, supply list, & card challenges.

Thanks for stopping by!

May the 'Luck o' the Irish' be with you
today and always.

Prayers to the world! ~Kim & family

Hi everybody! Kim here, for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps to celebrate and Sponsor 'International Women's Day' which is kicking off today with a Blog Hop, a Linky Party, and an Instagram Hop from March 8-31, 2020 IST. And the fun part is...you can join us too! ​Details below...

The idea behind this hop started last year with 10 amazing women card makers who wanted to encourage other women through their crafts. Just a small word of encouragement from fellow women goes a long way and can do wonders. So let us come together again and empower our sisters all around the world. Wow! Pretty awesome, right? We look forward to building a positive environment with your support.


For today's project: I was inspired by the beauty and strength of our fabulous CFS 'Be A Unicorn' stamp set, with coordinating 'Unicorn Fri-Die' to create this amazing project with distress inks, heat embossing, and some metallic sparkle.

Click "here" for a step by step tutorial on how I made this card and supply list.

​Joyce C.
is our Winner here at ​My Kraft Kloset, for January 2020! 
Congratulations!!! 

Our theme for this months Blog Hop is...Monochromatic! 
Which means the creation of something made from one color hue or one color family. Fun, right? Well, I'll tell you, this was quite challenging for many of us. It's really hard to just stick to one color family and not add black or some other color, as we love all colors and pretty patterned paper. Shown above are the purple and red color palettes I chose to work with this month. Pretty, right?

My first card is a passionate purple beauty...great for any occasion!

My second card is a fiery red beauty in honor of Valentines or my single gal pals for Galentines Day, Birthday, Graduation, or any occasion!

Thanks for stopping by & Happy Love & Friendship Month! ~Kim

Our theme for this months Blog Hop is...Change!!!
This is my favorite time of year, because it's my Birthday month ya'll! But also because the leaves change colors and pumpkins are everywhere. I just love it! So what inspires me about change??? 

It had me really thinking... 

So in honor of my little sister, who lost her battle with Breast Cancer 2yrs ago and our theme about change, I was inspired by our many Fall family birthdays, the orange colors, pumpkins everywhere, and 

all the Fall family fun.

​I hope I've inspired you to mix and match your stamps, products, and techniques and maybe try some new things and see where it takes you!

Sharon H. is our Winner here at My Kraft Kloset, for August 2019! 
Congratulations!!! 

Our theme for this months Blog Hop is...Autumn Colors!!!
I love all holidays, but Autumn is my favorite time of year with all the leaves changing colors, pumpkin spice everything appears, and we have lots of family birthdays to celebrate too! 

My 1st card I knew I wanted lots of leaves and color with ink smooshing, alcohol markers, and die cuts on a fairly large card.

My 2nd card I used masking, ink blending, and distress micro glaze techniques on a layered card with die cut frames.

My 3rd card is similar to my 2nd card with masking, ink blending, and distress micro glaze techniques on a layered card with die cut frames, but slightly different with a mix of Autumn patterns and colors.

I hope I've inspired you to mix and match your stamps, products, and techniques and maybe try some new things and see where it takes you!

Happy Fall ya'll!!!
